Our Attorneys: Experienced Professionals!

We are a small patent/law firm, but dedicated to the concerns of intellectual property issues of exacting internationally-oriented clients, with two partners possessing several years of practical experience – especially in the handling of complex patent disputes and other complex legal issues in the field of intellectual property – as well as a sophisticated standard of the practice of law. Accordingly, our attorneys are fully focused on strategic and legal issues, such as conducting or coordinating legal procedures as well as gving legal advice in the development of patent portfolios.

Nevertheless, our concept of success, which we have been pursuing since starting our law practise and which consists of truly integrated patent and general legal case management for our clients, results in a single source concept of advice and representation in intellectual property matters while demanding extensive professional and academic qualifications from our team of patent attorneys and attorneys-at-law.
